The main thing in decorating the table for Easter is to convey the soulful and bright atmosphere of the holiday. To do this, it is worth excluding sharp contrasts, egregious images, acidic shades and too gloomy color combinations. To place will be everything that is associated with spring, wildlife and rebirth to life. In this material we have collected the best ideas and advice from designers on how to decorate the table for Easter.
Easter table with hanging floral decoration
Advice! “The first thing to do is to think about the style of the table and come up with a serving name that will reflect its main idea.”
Spring palette
Shades of spring and soft pastel colors are ideal for decorating the Easter table. The most successful color combinations are:
- Green, yellow, white, light brown,
- Beige, blue, gray, pistachio,
- Dusty pink, gray, gold, white, mint,
- Egg yellow, chocolate, white, beige,
- Lavender, pink, blue, white, pale green.
Tip! “I always consider the colors of fresh seasonal flowers I plan to use in my bouquets. Make the table look voluminous by mixing natural textures with a bit of sparkle.”
A place for eggs
It’s hard to imagine Easter table decor without the main attribute of the holiday. There are several successful ways how to serve dyed eggs beautifully and originally:
- Arrange them in a random order along the runner in the center of the table,
- Fill a transparent vase with flowers with them,
- Put them in homemade nests made of twigs or straw,
- Use individual egg holders for each plate,
- Tie a doily around each egg in the shape of the ears of the Easter Bunny,
- Cover the plate with a clear glass cover,
- Place them in decorative cages.
Decorative composition of eggs, candles and green branches
With the help of dry or artificial eggs decorate festive wreaths, chandeliers, build Easter trees and colorful garlands. By the way, the latter look smart not only on the walls, but also stretched in a curved line in the center of the table.
Tip: compositions of eggs of different sizes and colors look good.
Kulich and Easter
To demonstrate the main characters of the Easter feast choose the best place and elegant dishes. The simplest thing is to tie the pastries with bright satin ribbons, lace or laconic thin twine. Festive entourage will emphasize the flowers, candies and dyed eggs laid around the dish.
A kulich tied with a plant shoot or its imitation, decorated with thin branches with barely blossomed leaves, looks fresh in spring. Instead of a plate, the kulich and Easter can be served on a linen serving napkin, a wooden cutting board on a round table, in a nest of paper stuffing for gifts or small branches.
Easter Bunny
It came to us from the Western Easter tradition and is loved by many for its cute and playful image. The “hare theme” is played out in patterns on tablecloths and dishes, in decorative figurines and baked goods. In the form of rabbit ears fold textile napkins or sew clips to them.
Bunnies cut out from cardboard or plain paper can be used as name cards with greetings for guests or as a nice touch to a folded napkin.
Fresh flowers
Bouquets of fresh flowers (tulips, hyacinths, daffodils, violets) – a symbol of spring, the awakening of nature, the resurrection of life. For flowers to stay fresh longer, prefer plants in pots. The containers can be decorated with ribbons, thematic toppers, decorative statuettes and figurines, arranging along the runner.
Instead of a voluminous bouquet, a row of identical compositions in the center of the table looks interesting. A cute touch – miniature flower bouquets in a shell or egg holder. An idea for lovers of minimalism – put one flower on each plate.
Decor from vegetables
Washed and aesthetically laid out on a tray of vegetables (cucumbers, carrots, radishes, tomatoes, cabbage) with herbs – affordable decor for Easter, instantly refreshing the table setting. It is perfectly associated with spring and the awakening of life.
Fresh, bright pink radishes decorating each napkin on the plate will give the feast a spring and cheerful mood. A cabbage leaf placed under the plate or used in floral compositions instead of greenery will also serve the same purpose.
And quite unusual and exciting look vases of fresh cabbage. To do this, a hollow is cut in the cob, in which a small jar with water is placed, and in it – a bouquet with fresh flowers.
Tip! “We take crisp lettuce leaves, hand-dye eggs, pour a vitamin cocktail of green vegetables into glasses, scatter dried apple petals and generously sprinkle the tops of the kulichi with dark green matcha tea powder.”
